Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) – Many owners of property have not yet submitted their property tax return shortly before the deadline. A total of 67 percent of the declarations for property tax B were received, around 94 percent of them digital, a spokesman for the Ministry of Finance told the German Press Agency on Tuesday afternoon.
The extension of the deadline for property tax B ends today, January 31, 2023. A total of 5.6 million properties in the south-west have to be revalued. This is followed by a reminder process.
From 2025 onwards, a new property tax calculation is to apply. The Federal Constitutional Court had demanded this, because the tax offices recently calculated the value of a property on the basis of completely outdated data, from 1935 in East Germany and from 1964 in West Germany. Almost 36 million properties nationwide now have to be revalued for the recalculation.
